There were more than 1.3 million confirmed cases of the coronavirus in the United States as of Saturday afternoon, according to The New York Times, and more than 78,000 deaths attributed to the virus. Florida had nearly 40,000 cases alone, and Duval County — where the fights took place — had more than 1,100.

A socially distanced setup

The Octagon setup was very unusual. It was still located in the center of the arena — which looked weird, given that there was nobody in the stands — however all of the media and officials tables were spaced out from each other.

Precautions during the fights

Nearly everyone inside the arena besides of the fighters wore masks and gloves on Saturday night.

Before the first preliminary fight of the night between Ryan Spann and Sam Alvey, both fighters walked out of the tunnel into the arena without masks or gloves — however most of their teams had both on.

During his walkout, @smilensam pointed to and high-fived "fans" in the "crowd" 🤣

The fight itself was a little weird to watch, as everything in the arena could be heard on the broadcast. Joe Rogan entered the cage after Spann’s win to interview him on ESPN, too, and did so without a mask or gloves on. He even shook Spann’s hand.

Other than that, though, it appeared that anyone else who entered the Octagon had protective equipment on.
